Prevent Product Recalls with Metal Detection

Recall Prevention with Metal Detection

Preventing product recalls using industrial metal detection

Product recalls caused by metal contamination can be costly and damaging to a company's reputation, as well as pose a health hazard to consumers. Fortunately, our industrial metal detection systems offer a reliable solution for the prevention of product recalls. Our systems can detect metal of all types, including stainless steel contaminants, preventing the risk of a recall and protecting the safety and satisfaction of your customers.

When installing our industrial metal detection systems, you can enjoy a range of benefits, including:

Improved Product Quality
Metal contamination can lead to product quality issues, affecting your brand reputation and your bottom line. METTLER TOLEDO is a manufacturer of metal detection systems to help your products meet the highest quality standards and remain safe for consumers.

Increased Customer Satisfaction
Customers expect products to be safe and free from contaminants. By implementing a thorough product inspection program including metal detection, you can reduce your risk of losing that essential trust.

Reduced Losses
Catching metal contaminants early on in the production process reduces the amount of rework time and costly product waste. Furthermore, if metal-contaminated products are allowed to reach the market, they may need to be recalled or destroyed, leading to significant financial losses.

Cost Savings
Product recalls can be costly, both in terms of direct expenses and the potential damage to your brand's priceless integrity.

Our industrial metal detection systems offer many advanced features, including:

High sensitivity
Our metal detectors are capable of finding various types, shapes, and sizes of metal contaminants in products for enhanced safety and quality control measures.

Accuracy
False rejects can be a significant problem with metal detection systems, leading to unnecessary waste and downtime. This is especially true for products with a high moisture and/or salt content which are subject to a phenomenon known as "product effect" and can cause false readings in metal detectors. Fortunately, systems like the Profile Advantage metal detector are designed to combat noise from product effect to minimize false rejects and maximize sensitivity.

Ease of use
Although our metal detectors are highly sophisticated instruments, they do not require extensive training or consulting to operate. Our metal detection systems are easy to set up and manage, making them a simple and efficient addition to your production line.

Customization options
We offer a variety of customization options to meet your specific needs for product type and factory requirements. We also offer ProdX Quality Management Software, a complete quality inspection data management system made to streamline product inspection processes, improve quality and compliance, and increase production efficiency.

How It Works:

Our industrial metal detection systems use advanced technology to detect metal contamination in food, as well as detect metal contaminants in pharma, personal care and many other products during the manufacturing process.

It starts with the metal detector head, which uses high-frequency electric currents to generate a magnetic field within the aperture. When unwanted metal passes through the high-frequency field, it produces a signal which is picked up by the metal detection system. The contaminated product is then rejected from the line or diverted for rework.

Our metal detection systems can be easily integrated into your production line at the determined Critical Control Points (CCP) where physical contaminants like metal are at the highest risk of entering the stream. We also offer full installation, setup, and training services to so you can be confident your equipment is ready to work at its best right from the start.

Industries Served

Food and Beverage Product Inspection

Metal contamination is a significant risk in food and beverage production, where even tiny metal fragments can be dangerous to consumers. Metal detectors can detect the presence of metal contaminants, such as broken pieces of machinery, screws, bolts, and other metal objects at the start of the line with raw materials, mid-line food production, and finished food products.

Pharmaceutical Product Inspection

Metal detection plays an integral role in keeping pharmaceutical products free from any metal contamination that could potentially harm consumers. The pharmaceutical industry is heavily regulated, and our metal detection systems can help manufacturers comply with regulatory standards and avoid costly product recalls. Read more

Cosmetics Product Inspection

Support industry compliance and customer safety by inspecting cosmetic products for foreign metal contamination. Metal can get into your cosmetic products through a variety of ways, including via raw materials, broken machinery, or accidentally through routine maintenance procedures. Reduce the risk of required or voluntary product recalls by keeping unwanted metal out of your product from the start. Read more

Chemical Product Inspection

By securing that products are free from metal contaminants, industrial metal detectors help protect consumer safety and brand status. In addition to the chemical industry, we also serve the paper and pulp, plastics, and other non-food industries helping them meet regulations, protect consumers, and protect brand images from the risk of product recalls due to metal contaminated product reaching the marketplace.
